    Thumbs up Re: WW3? Ukraine/US vs. Donbass/Russia

    • Russian Army Enters Ukrainian Cities Without A Fight: 'Glad We Were Freed From Criminals:


    In recent days, Dutch 🇳🇱 Journalist Sonja van den Ende paid a visit to the southern Ukrainian coastal town of Berdyansk, located on the Sea of ​​Azov.

    Mainstream media journalists, who enter data into their news sites from the comfort of their own home, claimed that on February 27 a Russian "offensive" took place in and around Berdyansk.

    Van den Ende spoke to local residents and asked them if they had suffered from the fighting. They said in unison, "No, all was quiet here!"
    • No fights
    According to the media, there would also have been heavy fighting for the city of Melitopol, which Van den Ende has now visited three times. However, according to the Russian army, soldiers entered Melitopol without a fight.

    RIA news agency reported that the soldiers were even welcomed by residents. Retirees took to the streets with red flags. Van den Ende confirms this. “What I have heard several times is that there have been no fighting in the city and nothing has been destroyed.”
    • Free from the criminals
    "The people were happy that the Russian army finally came to free them from the criminals as they put it," the journalist writes on her website.

    For example, former mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov was a member of the neo-fascist Right Sector, a party created by the Kiev regime and sponsored by the West.
    • Unsafe
    Incidentally, the former mayor was welcomed with open arms in the Netherlands, where he spoke with, among others, Minister Hoekstra of Foreign Affairs and members of the House of Representatives. Fedorov, like many other radicals, has fled to Europe, where they are granted asylum.

    In Berdjansk, Van den Ende spoke to people who were queuing up to apply for a Russian passport. Young people in particular told her that they felt 'unsafe', that the Kiev regime discriminates and forbade them to speak Russian. The elders did not have a good word for President Zelensky and the West.

    Ukraine targeted operation of Russian nuclear site – Moscow

    Russia’s Federal Security Service said on Tuesday that a series of explosions earlier this month at high-voltage power lines used by the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant were carried out by Ukrainian saboteurs.

    The plant is located in Kursk Region, which borders eastern Ukraine. The blasts, which occurred on August 4, 9, and 12, “led to a disruption of the technological process of the nuclear power plant’s functioning,” the FSB said. Six transmission towers were targeted overall. These towers transmit power from the plant to crucial infrastructure, such as industrial sites and transportation systems.

    The FSB added that a terrorism investigation has been launched and that a search for the culprits is underway. Security at nuclear sites in Russia has been boosted.

    Earlier on Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Ukrainian agents blew up a military storage facility near the town of Dzhankoy in Crimea. It added that power lines, a railway, and several homes were also damaged.

    READ MORE: Crimea blasts were acts of sabotage – Russian MoD
    International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi voiced concern last week over the “very alarming” situation around the Zaporozhye nuclear plant in southern Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine have been accusing each other of shelling the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, warning that combat in the area could trigger a nuclear disaster. The plant continues to operate with Ukrainian personnel under Russian control.

    Crimea blasts were acts of sabotage – Russian MoD

    The incident on Tuesday morning that resulted in explosions at a military site in northern Crimea was an intentional act, an update by the Russian Defense Ministry claims.

    Describing its response, the ministry said it was “taking necessary measures to eliminate the consequences of the sabotage.”

    The explosions caused damage “to a number of civilian objects, including power lines, a power station, a railroad and several residential houses,” the statement said.

    The site hit by the apparent attack is located near the village of Mayskoye in the Dzhankoy area of the Russian region. The military used it as a temporary ammo depot, it said earlier. The ammunition detonated due to a fire.

    Sergey Aksyonov, the head of the Republic of Crimea, announced a region-wide state of emergency on Tuesday due to the incident.

    Officials in Crimea said two civilians were injured in Mayskoye. The lives of both victims are not in danger, the reports said.

    Train traffic was also disrupted in Crimea due to damage of the railway. The region’s government said it will deploy additional buses to transport passengers.

    Another fire at an ammo depot happened last week at a military airfield near the resort town of Novofedorovka. The incident left one person dead and 14 others injured. The Defense Ministry did not report any findings of foul play behind it.

    Crimean village evacuated after huge explosions

    Residents of the village of Mayskoye in northeastern Crimea were ordered to evacuate on Tuesday following powerful explosions nearby. The blasts took place at a temporary ammunition depot operated by the Russian military, the Defense Ministry confirmed.

    The settlement is located in the Dzhankoy region, near Ukraine, and is believed to have around 2,000 residents.

    This is the second incident of this nature on the Crimean Peninsula since the beginning of the month. Last week, a series of explosions occurred at the Saki military airfield, located in the resort town of Novofedorovka. As a result, 14 people were injured and one died

    Images on social media purportedly taken at the moment of the incident show a massive ball of fire rising into the air.

    According to the Defense Ministry, the ammunition exploded due to a fire at the site. It reported no serious injuries in the incident and said its causes were being investigated.

    The head of the Republic of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, said he was going to Mayskoye to investigate the situation on the ground.

    The official said that according to preliminary reports, two civilians were injured in the village, adding that their lives are not in danger.

    Residents are being taken at least 5km away from Mayskoye due to the risks posed by continuing explosions at the military site, Aksyonov said.

    Later in the day, the region’s head said rail connection between mainland Russia and western Crimea was disrupted by damage done by the incident in Mayskoye. Aksyonov pledged to organize extra buses for travelers.

    UK Applies for Spy Plane Flight Over Russia, Moscow Says Will Not Allow This

    MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The United Kingdom has applied for a reconnaissance aircraft to fly above the territory of the Russian Federation, the Russian Aerospace Forces have been tasked with preventing any border breach, the Russian Defense Ministry told reporters on Tuesday.
    "The UK has filed an application with a flight plan for the flight of a UK reconnaissance aircraft RC-135 along a route that also runs over the territory of the Russian Federation. We consider this action as a deliberate provocation," the ministry said.
    The Russian Aerospace Forces have been tasked with preventing violations of the Russian airspace, it added.
    All possible consequences of this deliberate provocation will lie solely with the UK, the ministry stressed.

    Kyiv talks of West's readiness to accept Ukraine's surrender

    Countries expect Kyiv to fall in order to solve their problems, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said
    Some Western countries are ready to accept Ukraine's capitulation so that the problems will resolve themselves, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said.

    "I am often asked in interviews and communications by foreign ministers: 'how much longer will you hold out?' Instead of asking, what else needs to be done to win in the shortest time", – Kuleba said, noting that there is a feeling that some European countries expect Ukraine to "collapse" and all problems will resolve themselves.
    In July, Dmytro Kuleba stated that Kyiv would negotiate with Moscow only after Russia's defeat on the battlefield. Other conditions for Ukraine, he believes, are unacceptable.

    Russia accuses UK of ‘deliberate provocation’

    Britain’s Royal Air Force is carrying out a provocative action in Russian airspace, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has warned. The statement came after the UK requested permission for a reconnaissance plane to fly over Russian territory.

    On Tuesday, Russian military officials revealed that a “request has been lodged by the UK for the passing of a British reconnaissance plane RC-135 along a route which goes over the territory of the Russian Federation, among other countries.”

    The ministry emphasized that it deemed “this action to be a deliberate provocation.”

    The statement went on to say that the Russian Air Force had been tasked with preventing any “violation of the Russian Federation’s airspace.”

    Moscow also pointed out that “all possible consequences” of the planned reconnaissance flight would “rest solely with the UK.”

    The Russian Defense Ministry’s warning comes hard on the heels of another incident involving a British reconnaissance aircraft.

    Russia chases off UK spy plane
    Russia chases off UK spy plane
    On Monday, military officials in Moscow claimed that an RC-135 surveillance jet – the same model as the one mentioned in Britain’s latest passage request – had entered Russian airspace in the Barents Sea near the city of Murmansk and major bases of the country’s Navy’s Northern Fleet. A Russian MiG-31BM interceptor forced the intruder to leave Russian airspace.

    This was the first known incursion of NATO aircraft into Russian territory since Russia launched its military operation in Ukraine in late February.

    Earlier that month, Moscow claimed that a US submarine had entered Russian waters and was subsequently chased off near the Kuril Islands in the northern Pacific – which the Pentagon denied at the time.

    According to Moscow’s estimates, in 2021 alone, the number of reconnaissance flights by NATO aircraft rose by over 30%.

    Crimea blasts were acts of sabotage – Russian MoD

    The incident on Tuesday morning that resulted in explosions at a military site in northern Crimea was an intentional act, an update by the Russian Defense Ministry claims.

    Describing its response, the ministry said it was “taking necessary measures to eliminate the consequences of the sabotage.”

    The explosions caused damage “to a number of civilian objects, including power lines, a power station, a railroad and several residential houses,” the statement said.

    The site hit by the apparent attack is located near the village of Mayskoye in the Dzhankoy area of the Russian region. The military used it as a temporary ammo depot, it said earlier. The ammunition detonated due to a fire.

    Sergey Aksyonov, the head of the Republic of Crimea, announced a region-wide state of emergency on Tuesday due to the incident.

    Officials in Crimea said two civilians were injured in Mayskoye. The lives of both victims are not in danger, the reports said.

    Train traffic was also disrupted in Crimea due to damage of the railway. The region’s government said it will deploy additional buses to transport passengers.

    Another fire at an ammo depot happened last week at a military airfield near the resort town of Novofedorovka. The incident left one person dead and 14 others injured. The Defense Ministry did not report any findings of foul play behind it.

    Zelensky speaks out on travel ban for Ukrainian men

    Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has announced that men without military experience will be banned from leaving the country as long as martial law is in effect. The statement was posted on the president’s website on Monday in response to a petition urging that men between the ages 18 and 60 be allowed to travel abroad.

    The petition, which was signed by over 27,000 people, says many Ukrainian men are unfit for military service but could be useful in other fields. The author argued that if these people were allowed to work abroad, they could help refugees and send back money to aid the military, which, the text says, already has enough capable people.

    “Fighting should be fought by able-bodied people. We have many IT, social, creative, technical, and other specialists who can fight on the information front and be more useful working abroad, helping our refugees and supporting the army with earned funds,” the petition reads.

    The author claimed that Kiev’s travel restrictions aimed at certain categories of citizens resemble “Soviet practices, which [Ukraine] is gradually getting rid of,” and offered the example of Estonia, which only prohibits travel to those who are the subjects of criminal proceedings.

    “Therefore, we ask the president of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, to allow men aged 18-60 who do not have military experience and are of limited fitness to travel abroad,” the petition concludes.

    According to Ukrainian law, if an online petition receives more than 25,000 signatures, the president must issue a response. Zelensky replied by pointing to Article 64 of the constitution, which states that freedom of movement may be limited for Ukrainian citizens in the event of an emergency or the introduction of martial law.

    The president explained that according to the constitution, during a period of “martial law, the constitutional rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen… may be limited.”

    He went on to note that “the abolition of these restrictions is expected to be carried out after the end of the legal regime of martial law.”

    Ukraine’s Parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, approved Zelensky’s decree introducing martial law in the country on February 24, 2022, after Moscow launched its military operation against Kiev. The Rada has since extended the period of martial law several times, most recently prolonging it for an additional 90 days, until November 21.[COLOR="red"]

    Western ‘superweapons’ myth dispelled – Shoigu
    Russia’s military campaign in Ukraine has served to dispel the myth of Western ‘superweapons’, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said during an international security conference on Tuesday.

    Speaking at the forum, part of the ongoing Army 2022 expo near Moscow, Shoigu claimed that the weapons provided to Kiev have not had a significant effect on the battlefield, as has been claimed by the West.

    “Initially, it was about the supply of Javelin anti-tank systems and some unique drones. More recently, HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems and long-range howitzers were being promoted to the role of superweapons by Westerners. However, all of these weapons are being ground up in battle,” the minister said.

    Shoigu added that Russian forces are “carefully examining” the Western weapon systems seized on the battlefield in Ukraine, and are “taking into account the features and specific qualities” of these weapons when planning combat operations.

    The minister’s statement comes after US Defense Secretary LLoyd Austin announced last week that the weapons sent to Kiev by Washington have proven themselves effective on the battlefield and pledged to send more arms to Ukraine for “as long as it takes.”

    The US has approved more than $54 billion of economic and military aid to Ukraine since February, while the UK has committed nearly $3 billion in military aid alone, and the EU has spent another $2.5 billion on arms for Kiev.

    A large range of equipment, from rifles and grenades to anti-tank missiles and multiple launch rocket systems, has left Western armories for Ukraine, with most entering the country through Poland.

    Moscow, meanwhile, has repeatedly warned the West against sending weapons to Kiev, saying it only prolongs the conflict and increases the number of casualties.
